A few of you have asked about my interview with Selvedge magazine, so I thought I’d reproduce it here:

Thank you Kate for sharing this article. I finished your Handywoman book and it was inspiring and supportive to me. Your writing skills are as amazing as your knitting skills! When you shared your childhood I could actually see it in my head…Wow! I for one would not know how I could manage without my knitting community. Those close by and those I have only met online mean the world to me. You are a part of that, thank you.

Dear Kate, every time I read one of your articles you inspire me. You have achieved so much after your stroke when I know others may have felt like giving up. I love your designs and your blog. I wish you continuing success in all your ventures.

I just finished reading Handywoman, and I know it will resonate deeply for a long time. I wanted to thank you for putting so much of yourself, and yet so selflessly, into this book. You managed to explain many aspects of disability in thoughtful detail, and I was very moved by your description of the supporttive and creative sisterhood which is the knitting community.
